Interior rust
Wednesday, December 22, 2010 4:45 PM
I found rust on a car I just bought, it is on the floor pan just to the right of the brake pedal. It was covered by a floormat when I looked at it.. Do they make replacement front floor pans for our cars? Can I just clean it up and get another piece of metal welded in, or is it structural and stupid to fix?

It is rusted through, can't see the road, but it is definately through one layer of sheet metal.

that depends rob

som epeople run without winter mats and the salt gets trapped under the carpet when the floor is heated you can wash you car and vacuum all you want

interior panels have a light primer coat can still see through it

the exterior is all coated
